” I do think its odd that of all the accusations leveled against him, this is the only one he isnt fighting publicly.”
BS. There is plenty he hasn’t tweeted about. It’s just you think Stormy has something and you want her to get him.
You’re anger is childish.
“And, oddly, zero tweets about Stormy Daniels!”
Oddly? What is odd about not tweeting on what a porn star says?
It is rich that:
1. Our entire culture literally salivates over any and all forms of sex, over all forms of venues.
2. All forms of morality are impugned, scoffed at, ridiculed.
3. Christian morality is declared psychologically unhealthy.
4. But, let a porn star who had her picture taken with Trump and uses it to full advantage, and the pearl clutching by prancing moral deviants suddenly turned moral purists is amazing.
“...this is the only one he isnt fighting publicly.”
He has publicly stated that she is lying.
And, if she is not lying, I don’t care, because it is between Trump and his wife and God.
that Trump promised to veto
Trump never promised to veto the bill. Go back and read his twitter feed.
I’ve explained this process.
The Omnibus, even though called an “APPROPRIATION” bill, was really an “AUTHORIZATION” bill. No $$ has been appropriated yet.
The process is that the House first, then the Senate authorize money (permission to spend). Then they appropriate the money, usually a little at a time, to the Departments (never to the President).
Mattis will get the defense $, a little at a time. For ex, if he says the USAF needs 3 more F-22s and Congress appropriates (I dunno what they cost, say $200m for the three), and the USAF Sec spends the money on new bombers, then Congress won’t appropriate more til this is fixed and money comes from the bomber budget to replace.
If, somehow, Trump instructs Mattis to build a wall with the F-22 $$, Congress won’t appropriate any more money, period.
There is a reason the Founders did this. They wanted CONGRESS, whatever you think of them now, to have total control over the purse. There was NEVER an intention to allow presidents to just have their own slush funds.
As a side note, I’m hearing from military people right and left that the military was in FAR worse shape than we thought and that every penny is needed.
I think Rush Limbaugh has the correct take on this.
Even as a world renowned businessman, there are only so many qualified people for these positions you even know, let alone who can be successfully vetted, and then who will take the job.
Just FYI and not bragging, but Steve Bannon asked me if I wanted to head Library of Congress. I said “Hell no.” I’m not an administrator, and I hate Washington. And that’s a nuthin’ job. So you can imagine how very qualified people would be hard to find.
I am NOT comparing Trump to “nazis” but think back ot 1946. There was a ban on Nazis holding any power in Germany-—yet Patton found he couldn’t even run the water and electricity plants with non-nazis cuz either they had been killed or left 7-10 years earlier.
So, think of the nazis as the Swamp. Unable to find all the “loyal” but smart Trumpers, he had to turn to recommendations from inside the Swamp and that was first and foremost Priebus. But McMaster came with recommendations from everyone: I recommended him, Victor Hanson recommended him, and, according to Bannon, “so did 50 other top conservatives.”
Bottom line, it has taken a while to get rid of insiders and slowly find Trumpers willing and able to do the job.
Thanks, LS.
There are different ways to view this. The tweets may be Trump’s humorous trolling. Or there may be strategies to force Congress into a stand-alone vote on The Wall. And there are other possibilities.
He’s trolling, and I honestly think he knows how badly he screwed up. You could see it in the press conference. The worst he’s ever been.
So I think he’s trying to buck up the base.
Interview tonight stormy on TV. Her lawyer threatened Trump after tonights interview he should be very careful what he says about his client.
Agree. He will force the Dems to run against themselves, i.e. their own record because he knows that by no stretch of the imagination will all the DACA people automatically vote for Democrats, and so do they. That’s why they love DACA as an ISSUE but hate it as a policy. That charade is coming to an end, finally.
He will also use discretionary authority to improve border security including the use of “the M” - e.g. the military. Army Corps of Engineers, for example, to design it. If in the end some Dems challenge him in court, well we’ll take our chances after it gets to Scotus.
Trump does ignore some people. Remember when Eminem spent about 4 months desperately trying to get his attention?
I’ll take Trump on his worst day vs Hitlery on her best day.
Im not sure, but I do know the writer is an a-hole. There are reasoned and grave objections to the budget disaster. To call those tantrums is both inaccurate and unjust.
Who cares he and his cohorts are proven liar already, McConnell and Ryan etc.
This law also gives the President broad discretion in making decisions to refuse to spend funds that have been authorized by congress, as well as allowing him to reallocate spending priorities...”
Meaningful only if Trump has learned to tell the courts to stuff it when necessary.
When your political opponents are paying a whore to create an an irrelevant attack on you, best to ignore the scum then waste time engaging .
No one cares about Rahm Emannual’s paid for propaganda whore. It irrelevant to voters.
It was made that way by you Leftists when you insisted Bill Clinton’s long list of sexual mis-condut was a “private personal matter”
Civil serpents should be civil servents but there are more serpents than servents so I guess it was Technically correct.
LBJ did it, with the black community and the Civil Rights bill.
